Brendan Kiely is The New York Times bestselling author of All American Boys (with Jason Reynolds), Tradition, The Last True Love Story, and The Gospel of Winter. His most recent book is The Other Talk: Reckoning with Our White Privilege. His work has been published in over a dozen languages, and has received the Coretta Scott King Author Honor Award, the Walter Dean Meyers Award, and ALA’s Top Ten Best Fiction for Young Adults. A former high school teacher, he is now on the faculty of the Solstice MFA Program. He watches too much basketball and reads too many books at the same time, but most importantly, he lives for and loves his wife and son.
Meg is our morning speaker. She is interested in how educators are shaped as people through the teaching of literature and poetry. Meg currently works with the Hudson Valley Writing Project, the New York State English Council, and the English Language Arts Teacher Educators Commission on the Teaching of Poetry.
